Far cry 3 Black Screen
Hi, i just downloaded far cry 3, but i have a bug: when i try to change any video option it freezes and gives me a black screen. My system does match all requirements, and I already tried to launch the game in windows XP compatibility mode but it's the same ad before.
So how can i solve this problem?

close any and all backround applications
make sure you verify your game files \
To verify your files if you bought the game thru Steam ..\EXIT Steam ..right click your steam icon ..select run as Administrator
launch Steam
go to your Steam games library
right clik on far cry 3
select properties
select local files
select verify Integrity of game cache
it takes a few min to do but its faster the redownloading your entire game , if its only a few files that were corrupt or installed incorrectly .... this in many cases will fix your problems
If you have the U play only Version of the game you can also verify your game files with U play
if you have the game via u play only here are instructions how to verify your game files thru their client
Again its probably best to make sure you launch Uplay as RUN as Administrator when you do a file verify

and be aware that the AMD 15.11 beta drivers will cause the game to fail to launch see this thred

to fix it roll back to the 15.10 beta driver or use the 15.7 WHQL drivers
you can get both from this link

make sure you use DDU when uninstalling your current drivers in safe mode for best results

*update AMD has released newer drivers but they still have issues , under Known issues
in the new 16.1 driver is
